Abstract
The Chapman–Enskog method is applied to solve the set of Enskog kinetic equations of a multicomponent mixture of smooth inelastic hard spheres. As with monocomponent systems, an analysis is performed to first-order in spatial gradients. The Navier–Stokes transport coefficients and the first-order contribution to the cooling rate are obtained in terms of the solution to a set of coupled linear integral equations. These equations are approximately solved by considering the leading terms in a Sonine polynomial expansion. Explicit forms of the relevant transport coefficients of the mixture are obtained in terms of concentrations, masses and sizes of the constituents of the mixture, solid volume fraction, and coefficients of restitution. The dependence of these coefficients on the parameter space of the system is amply illustrated in the case of a binary mixture.

Appendix A
The explicit form of the transport coefficients associated with mass and heat fluxes requires knowledge of the quantities \(I_{ij\ell }\). These parameters are defined in terms of the functional derivative of the local pair distribution function \(\chi _{ij}\) with respect to the local partial densities \(n_\ell \) [15]:
These quantities are zero if \(i=j\); they are nonzero otherwise. As mentioned in the main text, they are chosen here to recover the results obtained for ordinary fluid mixtures [8], given the mathematical difficulties involved in their direct evaluation. Thus, the parameters \(I_{i \ell j}\) are defined through the relation [33]
where \(\mu _i\) is the chemical potential of species i [30]. Since granular fluids lack a thermodynamic description (they are inherently out of equilibrium), the concept of chemical potential is questionable. Here, for practical purposes, the expression of \(\mu _i\) obtained for ordinary mixtures will be taken. Although this evaluation requires the use of thermodynamic relations that only hold for ordinary systems, it is expected that this approximation will be reliable for not too strong values of dissipation. This assertion must of course be supported by computer simulations.
In a binary mixture, the relevant nonzero parameters are \(I_{121}\) and \(I_{122}\). According to Eq. (5.98), they are defined as
Note that for mechanically equivalent particles, \(I_{121}=I_{122}=0\), which is as expected since SET and RET lead to the same Navier–Stokes transport coefficients for a monocomponent gas [27, 28].
To determine \(I_{121}\) and \(I_{122}\) it remains to compute the derivatives \(\partial _{n_j}\chi _{ij}\) and \(\partial _{n_j}\mu _i\). In the case of hard disks (\(d=2\)) , a good approximation for the pair distribution function \(\chi _{ij}\) is given by Eq. (2.76), namely,
where \(\phi =\sum _i\; n_i\pi \sigma _i^2/4\) is the solid volume fraction for disks and we recall that
The expression of the chemical potential \(\mu _i\) of the species i consistent with the approximation (5.101) is [38]
where \(\varXi _i(T)\) is the (constant) thermal de Broglie wavelength of species i [39]. In the case of hard spheres (\(d=3\)), the pair distribution function \(\chi _{ij}\) is approximated by Eq. (2.77), namely,
where \(\phi =\sum _i\; n_i\pi \sigma _i^3/6\) is the solid volume fraction for spheres. The chemical potential consistent with Eq. (5.104) is [39]
These results permit us to compute the quantities \(I_{121}\) and \(I_{122}\) in terms of the parameters of the mixture.
Appendix B
The collisional transfer contributions \(D_{q,ij}^\text {c}\) and \(\kappa _\text {c}\) to the heat transport coefficients are given by [15, 16]
where the coefficients \(B_k\) are defined by Eq. (1.177). The quantities \(C_{ij}\) and \(C_{i \ell j}\) are provided in terms of velocity integrals involving the zeroth-order distributions [16]. These quantities can be explicitly determined by considering the Maxwellian distributions (5.50). Their final forms can be written as
where
where we recall that \(\beta _{ij}=\mu _{ij}\theta _j-\mu _{ji}\theta _i\).
The kinetic contributions \(D_{q,ij}^\text {k}\) and \(\kappa _\text {k}\) for a binary mixture (\(N=2\)) are now considered. They are defined by Eq. (5.72). To determine them, we must also evaluate the parameters \(\lambda _i\) and \(d_{q,ij}\). These parameters can be expressed in a more compact form by introducing their dimensionless expressions
The coefficients \(\lambda _i^*\) are [32]
where \(\zeta _0^*= \zeta ^{(0)}/\nu '\) can be easily obtained from Eq. (5.51) and
Here, \(A_{ij}\) is defined as
and the reduced collision frequencies \(\omega _{ij}^*\) and \(\psi _{ij}^*\) are given by
In the above equations, the following quantities have been introduced
The expressions for \(\omega _{22}^*\), \(\omega _{21}^*\), \(\psi _{22}^*\), and \(\psi _{21}^*\) can be easily obtained from Eqs. (5.116)–(5.119) by interchanging \(1\leftrightarrow 2\). With these results the (scaled) kinetic coefficient
can be finally written as
where \(D_1^{T*}= (\rho \nu '/n T)D_1^T\) and use has been made of Eqs. (5.112) and (5.113).
The (reduced) coefficients \(d_{q,ij}^*\) are now considered. In a binary mixture, the relevant coefficients are the set \(\left\{ d_{q,11}^*, d_{q,12}^*, d_{q,22}^*, d_{q,21}^*\right\} \). The explicit expressions of \(d_{q,11}^*\) and \(d_{q,12}^*\) are [32]
where the (dimensionless) coefficients \(\overline{d}_{q,ij}^*\) are given by
In Eq. (5.127), \(A_{ij}\) is defined by Eq. (5.115) while in Eq. (5.128) \(B_{ij}\) is
The expressions of the coefficients \(d_{q,22}^*\) and \(d_{q,21}^*\) can be derived from Eqs. (5.126) and (5.127), respectively, by interchanging \(1\leftrightarrow 2\). With these results the kinetic coefficients \(D_{q,ij}\) can be obtained from the second relation of Eq. (5.72).
The reduced forms of the collisional contributions to \(\kappa \) and \(D_{q,ij}\) can be determined from Eqs. (5.106) and (5.107), respectively. In the case of a binary mixture, the expressions of \(\kappa _\text {c}^{*}= (2/(d+2))[(m_1+m_2)\nu '/nT]\kappa _\text {c}\) and \(D_{q,ij}^{c*}= (2/(d+2))[(m_1+m_2)\nu '/n]D_{q,ij}^\text {c}\) are
where \(n^*= n\sigma _{12}^d\).
